Keith Whited: People should first be cognizant of the lawyer’s experience. That’s the first thing. You know, are they learning how to do this on their case? Because that’s generally a bad place for a consumer to be in, or small business, to show up in a lawyer’s office with a dispute and that be the first kind of dispute that the lawyer’s ever recognized or been involved in, and so experience is a big deal.

The forum is a big deal. That is, where is the dispute going to take place? Is it going to take place in state court? Is it going to take place in federal court? Lots of commercial issues are litigated in federal court. I’m licensed to practice law in the federal courts of North Carolina. I’m licensed in the United States Supreme Court. So, whether your lawyer has experience in that forum makes a difference.
